Slice ‘n Bake Cookies Cupcakes

Slice 'n Bake Cupcakes

I was in the grocery store the other day when these made me stop in my tracks. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. I mean slice ‘n bake cookies are one thing, but cupcakes… come on! So I tried to muffle my laughter and walked away.

Then I walked back. These were just too bizarre to pass up. So I figured I would try them out so you wouldn’t have to.

Let’s look inside and see what $2.99 got me…

Sliceable cupcake batter (I can’t wrap my head around this one), chocolate frosting, rainbow sprinkles and six white baking cups.

Okay, is it just me, or does this seem wrong. Wait, I think I can hear my stomach turning.

These cupcake chunks can’t possibly work. Could all my effort gathering ingredients, measuring, waiting for things to get to room temperature, mixing in just the right way and cleaning be for nothing. Could it be this simple?

Cupcakes
What?!?!?! I guess so.

Now for the frosting. Come on…come on…squeeze a little harder… you can do it.

Sprinkles & Cupcakes
Now I just need to add the sprinkles and voila…

Wow, they look kinda good. But what about the inside?

I give up! I wanted these to bomb, but they weren’t half bad. The inside was light and fluffy and the pudding-like frosting was, well… okay. I guess in a cupcake emergency, I might make these again. But only in an emergency. I have to draw the line somewhere you know. Now I have to go buy some break and bake chocolate chip cookies.

Got a guilty pleasure? Go ahead… spill it… you’ll feel better.

They look pretty good. I probably would have tried them like you did and I would take a bite if I had the chance but I wouldn’t buy that to eat and feed to people. I consider myself a somewhat dignified beginner baker and those just cannot be good for you. yuk.

WHen I was in highschool (30-gasp! years ago), my mom and I would treat ourselves to cake in a box. Inside the box came a baking pan which you dumped the mix into and added water. You stirred it up and popped it into the oven. Then when it came out, we iced with the ready made icing it came with…..can’t remember if it came in a tube or a tin or what! 30 years ago!!!!
It was delis!!!! Since it was only about 5 x7, we devoured it in one sitting!

really now? I have never heard of or seen anything like this before, and the fact that they actually work just blows my mind! And I was laughing the other day that cut and bake cookies are now already cut and separated :P

You somehow make these look pretty, and edible but does America really need MORE processed food. Packaged cupcakes? What was on the ingredient list?

My fave guilty plesure is you get brown sugar, bacon, and maple srup. u mix the brwn sgr with the srup and coat the bacon. sprinkle with more brwn sugar and cook at 400 for 3-4 minutes. or just do it in the micorave for 45 seconds.
